College Football – Offseason Pangs of Withdrawal

Things I learned from watching the 2007 College Football All-Star Challenge, from the Orange Bowl in Miami and broadcast on the World Wide Leader:

1. Not just suburban dads from Middle America wear pleated khakis, Kirk Herbstreit does, too. Wait, never mind- Kirk *is* a suburban dad from Middle America. After lusting after him for years, it’s hard to remember he’s a dad.

2. Darius Walker is not “short”. He’s “diminuitive”.

3. The best way to measure relative strength of college QBs wanting to enter the draft? Some blue-chalked footballs and a moving piece of cardboard with an oversized picture of a football player on it. Very realistic.

4. And speaking of college QBs- they’re hot. No, really. Troy Smith? Hot. Chris Leak? Hotter. Drew Stanton? Hottest. Even Boise State’s Zabransky is good looking. Is this a new draft requirement for NFL quarterbacks- a minimum hotness level? If so, I give it my seal of approval.

5. Even when he’s not there, Bob Davie and Herbstreit still love to drool over Ted Ginn, Jr.

6. Everyone can use a random group of Hurricane cheerleaders standing by when you work. Just because.

7. Kenny Irons listens to country music. And I think he used his time laying on the turf to look up the U cheerleaders’ skirts. I think I’m a little bit in love with Kenny, he’s really funny.

9. The U clearly doesn’t educate its football players in the basics of running- don’t wear a baseball cap when you’re running in a speed race, dummy. It will fly off your head and make you look like a dork for wearing it in the first place.

10. Unless a game or a million dollars is on the line, watching field goal kicks is pretty boring. Especially in an empty Orange Bowl.

12. If you thought Bob Davie was annoying in the broadcast booth during games, he is even more annoying when you don’t have the football on the field to distract you. I didn’t know it was possible for Bob to be more annoying. I was so very wrong.

13. It’s funny when Kirk says “69”. Even funnier when he says “69 is good”. Yes, honey. Yes it is.

14. That hook and ladder play BSU ran against Oklahoma is still just as sweet to watch now as it was back at the beginning of January. Somehow I think watching the Sooners get skunked on two trick plays will never get old.

15. Also, that reminds me: people get strangely angry when talking about whether that play is properly called a “hook and ladder” or “hook and lateral”. Like, “going to draw blood” angry.

16. You just know Kirk still pulls out his old OSU uniform on the weekend, and runs around in the backyard throwing passes.

17. Darius Walker pops his collar. (that’s not a euphemism)

18. Greg Olsen looks like a poor man’s Drew Stanton in the face, but he has a body that just won’t quit. Rowr.

19. Even without the game pants, football jerseys are damn sexy- they make a guy’s shoulders look broad and his biceps look huge. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when you have a smokin’ hot bod in the jersey…

20. ESPN’s theme music for College Football makes you even happier in February than it does in September. Withdrawal, y’all.

About Texas Gal

Pitched four years for the Philadelphia Athletics, and then played shortstop for seven years for the Montreal Expos. Taught Rickey Henderson to steal a base. Taught Nolan Ryan to throw a punch. Taught Mickey Mantle to drink a beer. Threw one seven-hitter and seven no-hitters. Wonderboy was my creation, and first Jobu shrine was in my locker. Often called "the next Dustin Pedroia". Always wear high socks and eyeblack. Prefer to slide headfirst.

This is a great post. Kirk Herbstreit is my boyfriend-who-lives-in-the-TV during college football season and then the title gets turned over to Jay Bilas. There’s a ceremony and everything. Also, Drew Stanton? So hot.

Now, now, people- ye of little faith- I was only commenting on those players that were in attendance at the All-Star Challenge. Never fear that if I were making a list of hottest college QBs in general, Colt McCoy would be number for homer reasons of course. (though Stanton would probably still be right behind, because WOW is he hot)

If you saw “the allstar challenge” forget medlock I would take Auburn Kicker hottie Joh Vaughn any day. John has the fine legs, a muscular body, a sweet baby face and oh so curley blonde hair. i for one love blondes!!

Drew stanton, John Vaughn, Greg Olsen all are hot and all will make great NFL Allstars
